So, like, I noticed...

[Draculaura is outside, and her Pokemon (Noivern, Cofagrigus, Gengar) are propping up a few things - an umbrella? a lawn chair? blankets?. She's dressed in a stylish bathing suit, talking to the device.]

All of that stuff that's blocking the towns? Major bummer. I was thinking of going to the beach eventually, but, now it's like way too much trouble. So I thought I'd enjoy the best stuff about the beach here - the sunshine! I could never get a real tan back home.

But like, at the same time, all these new people logged onto the game! There are sooo many new friends to make, so, I say? Take the best of a bad situation! While you're waiting for the roads to clear, make some friends! We can learn a bunch of stuff from each other. Like, I'm the unofficial Monster Ambassador, so I can tell you all about monsters! Or boys, I know all about boys and romance. Or fashion! Doesn't this outfit look sooo cute?

[She twirls - and trips over the too short to notice Snubbul. She yelps, crashes into the set up the others had made, and everyone winds up on the pavement. The Snubbul shrugs, picking up the device in its mouth. Yum.]

[Action]

[Eventually the mess gets cleared up, and Draculaura gets the 'vacay' she wants. She's propped up on the lawn chair, basking in the sunlight. Crobat occasionally fans her with his giant wings, Frosslas is the 'fridge' keeping sodas cool by hugging them, Gengar is eating the food from the picnic basket... hey! Bad!

But Draculaura doesn't seem to mind, sighing happily in the sun, eyes closed. It's an unusual sight... especially when it's in the middle of the city. Hope she's not blocking your way today

Whoa whoa whoa hey, don't touch the hair - and you better explain what I'm doing here, now!

[Josuke is practically being forced out the door of "Mom"'s house not only by the mystery woman, but also by the Pansage riding his shoulders eagerly waving and pointing at everything in sight. He's sure never met her before, and it's really freaking him out. He thought his real mom could get crazy.

The door gets slammed on him before he realizes he's outside.]


Oh, now this is just great.

[He's gonna be strolling around looking for answers. You look out of place, maybe you know something?]

[Video...?]

[That... is the side of a face. Someone seems to have not noticed the lens... or maybe not.]

Apparently this thing I got is a phone, not just a camera? Fancy stuff. Guess the first question is, who am I even calling? Wouldn't think it'd make one with no number.

[He'd been poking around, and found some things that looked phone-like, so he gave it a try. It is acting odd, but maybe it's like a Stand or something. There could totally be a phone stand.]

Wouldn't be right to just say that, though. Name's Josuke Higashikata. A little confused by all this, but I guess I've got time to work it out since it doesn't look like I'm going anywhere anytime soon.

Got a song stuck in my head something fierce, though.

[He finally moves the Gear away from the side of his head, giving everyone a really clear look at his pompadour and face, finally. He's managed to get Yes to calm down, at least, but he also forgot to hang up.]

Wait, maybe...

[He's taking off his jacket on camera. It's midsummer so sure, that makes some sense, but the way he's looking over it might seem more like there might be a problem with it than just looking at it strangely.]

 [As the video feed switches on, there is a very timid and frightened girl on the screen. She's sitting on the bed in the house that she woke up in a day or so ago. After meeting up with a strange old man, being given a ball and this gear, she was lost, upset and ended up back at the very same house. A kind woman has taken her back in but it's quite clear that the woman was now hoping the young girl would soon set out on her journey. Like the others...

There was a skiddo on the bed next to her, her head resting on her lap and watching up at her with wide eyes. This skiddo has felt Prim's loneliness and pain. She feels it every time Prim runs her hand over her horns. And she didn't know how to make her trainer feel better. 

Prim's making this Gear post out because of the suggestion of the kind woman. If there was somebody she was desperately looking for, this would be the way.

There were tears brimming on her eyes as she tries to stare into the camera of her gear.]


Katniss...? They said that...if you were here, you would see this and contact me. I don't know where I am...and last time...

[Her voice catches for a moment and she tries to clear her throat.]

Last time I saw you...they were forcing you onto that train. And...I really want to see you again.

Please come take me home....


[There is a moment that the video hangs as she tries to figure out how to turn off the recording and just before the clip ends, you could faintly hear her begin to cry, with the skiddo making soft soothing sounds towards her]



[ooc: I promise Prim won't always be so sad. She just needs some love at the moment! She will desperately pick up any messages sent to her gear in the hopes that it's her sister. Or if anybody would like to coax her out into the world, please visit her in the random house in New Bark Town that she's hiding in!]

[ His first instinct had been to leave that building. Leave that woman. And it had felt right - though, the sun hitting him had truly made him feel... alive. For the first time in a long time.

However, he has to clean up. It's been far too long since he's been out and free. His thoughts turn to the waters he can hear - and, so, you may find Basch, washing his hair over the coastline, still shirtless - his Spinda sitting by him and staring with a curious look. His spare clothes - those of a Tourist - were laid nearby. ]

[voice]

[ After a while of his rest, and cleaning up as best he could, Basch has learned of this odd technology - video cameras. Mostly from observing the others who are in this town, greeting others. Seeking others from their world, asking questions of their situation - but he cannot show his face to them. If there are any from his world, he cannot let them know he is alive. He is hated by most, and held in contempt by the few others.

That is why, you see, he had taken time to figure out how to enter voice mode. His voice is strong - he had rehearsed what he was to say. Though he has not had to say even this much in so long... ]


I am another who has arrived in this land but recently. If there is further guides then the ones that have arrived, where may they be found? Until the creature blocking the path to the next city has been subdued, it shall be difficult to leave.

Spiiiinda?

...My own beast, Spinda, does not seem to have the strength to take on many. Is there another with one who may instruct proper training methods - or the means to acquire others.

[ There's a pause. He... did not know how to end the recording - a slight grunt came from him, and a mumble of "I've still not seen devices this advanced", before it ends. ]

[Video]

[The video opens to Ochako’s rather focused staring, eyebrows knit together - until she sees that it’s on and indeed recording, upon which she immediately brightens up]

H, Hi everyone! Everyone? I guess anyone could see this… anyway, hi! Um, hopefully I’m not the only one that’s a little confused about what’s going on? But if you are, don’t worry - you’ll be in good company! [A big smile and a little laugh after. She feels a bit silly trying to comfort people who may or may not be listening, but if any of them are feeling the way she does… well, they probably need it.] I’m not sure about everything that’s going on, but at least everyone here has been really friendly - and, oh, oh! Look at this!

[There’s a pop and a flash of light, and suddenly she’s joined by a blue bird with fluffy white wings that flutters about before landing on her head. Ochako is all smiles and the video feed jiggles as she dances excitedly on the spot, only fear of dislodging the adorable birb from her head keeping her from doing some fist pumps.]

Isn’t she adorable? I definitely have to think of a good name for her…

[While she considers that though, there’s one last thing bothering her…]

Also, does… anyone know what the deal with the music is? I mean, it’s pretty amazing, that’s it everywhere! But… it does seem like it might get a bit annoying after a while...

[Action]

[Right, well. She can't just stand around saying hello to people all day! She's supposed to set out on her journey, right? Or, really, look for a way back home... either way, she needs to leave this tiny town! Only...

Everyone is saying she can't right now. So have Ochako, her face a mixture of determination and worry standing at the edge of town, looking out towards Route 29, fingertips pressed together nervously in front of her. If she notices you coming this way, she jumps to the side with an apology]


Ah, sorry! I didn't mean to block the way... it's just - they're all saying there's a really strong monster out there that's causing a rampage and it's too dangerous for me to go out there right now? [She sighs. She was supposed to be getting stronger for just a thing like this - well, maybe not just like this - and now here she is, completely helpless again.] Do you think a hero will come take care of it soon?

[The feed is turned on to reveal the face of a very pale looking girl with an eyepatch. She looks...a bit confused, but that's probably normal. She glances away from the device for a moment, as if making sure no one's following her before finally speaking.]

...that wasn't my mother. I'm not sure what this place is, but I'm hoping there's someone who does. [There does seem to be a network of sorts, so she's assuming she's not just talking to some useless machine.]

...I hate phones.

[She grumbles quietly to herself for a moment.]


There was some odd creature following me too. Like some sort of cartoonish ghost. [She holds up a very well-done sketch of what's clearly a Shuppet.]

I would appreciate it if someone could fill me in. Thank you.

[ What happens when you're a newbie stranded in New Bark Town with nothing else to do? You manage to figure out how to use the PokéGear, and that is certainly what Minako has done after several frustrating attempts. It is hard being from the 1990s where pagers were what was all the rage, and there wasn't this new technology. Either way, there's a new face on the feed - a blonde-haired girl with blue eyes currently perched against a tree with a Luvdisc at her side. On her other side is the bento lunch that all the newcomers get, opened and halfway eaten as she continues to stuff her face with the food, looking a little miffed. ]

'kay, gotta be honest here, this whole journey thing kinda sucks. I mean, "Mom" made it seem like it was gonna be exciting, y'know? I was expecting to go on this huge adventure and maybe even meet some hotties while I'm at it! But nooooo. Instead, me and Aimi are stuck here in New Bark Town because of this elephant thing that's deciding to tear up everything on the route ahead.

[ Minako gives a huge sigh, complete with a slump of her shoulders. Usually she is a lot chipper than this, but she's boooored. And when she's bored, she's super whiny. ]

There's nothing to do here. Ugh, this is worse than studying for entrance exams...

[ ...Actually, no, studying for entrance exams is worse. Never mind. ]

No, I mustn't act like this...! Chin up, Minako! It's like what they say, there's no use in drinking spoiled milk!

[ Except literally nobody has said that ever... ]

Anyways, you guys should totally come talk to me! Don't be a stranger! I'll probaaaably be here for a while, so any and all company is welcomed. I'll even introduce myself to break the ice! [ She clears her throat and gives a bright smile. ] Introducing...Minako Aino! I'm sixteen years old and a first year high school student. My birthday's October 22nd, which is coming up pretty soon, so you should totally buy me presents! My favorite colors are red and orange, if you need any gift inspiration. [ It's June, and she's speaking as though her birthday is next week... ] I really like curry and ramen, but I hate shiitake mushrooms. What else is there...well, I guess you could say my hobby is idol-chasing, but I also really like watching TV, playing video games, and reading manga. Oh, and how could I forget...?! My most ultimate, most favorite thing to do of all time! Meeting cute boys!

[ She winks suggestively, as if trying to drop a hint for boys to come talk to her, which...of course she is. It's Minako. ]

So, yeah, you guys should tell me all about yourselves! In times like these, it's nice to make new friends, right?

[It's a jovial, confident voice that comes over the gear. No video, only a voice.]

Hey kids, Handsome Jack here! I know, I know. 'Who the fuck is Handsome Jack, and why haven't I heard of him before?'. Oh, you poor people. You are really living in the dark ages. It is one hell of a good story, trust me. Brave awesome hero, galaxies in peril, lots of guns and explosions, betrayal, hot chicks in tight leather.... All that good stuff. Maybe I'll tell you some time. It's...oh, it's just so good.

[Because while this is just a temporary stop-over, that doesn't mean Jack is going to waste his time here. This backwards shit-hole of a planet's covered in animals he's never seen, full of items and energy sources he's not familiar with, and legends and folklore abounds. He's hardly been here a day and now that the shock of his situation has passed he can already see that this place offers countless opportunities for a brilliant mind like his.]

[It's all part of how it goes. The hero is seemingly beaten. Disgraced, slandered. All the best heroic tales have this bit. The bit before the hero's triumphant return, bigger and even better, to strangle the life out of the murdering bastard scum that stole everything from him.]

[Being broke is a bit of a problem, but it won't be for long. Jack knows money. He knows how to make it his, how to make it work for him. He's already in a prime position to get started. As if he needs any more proof that the universe itself loves him.]


But right now, I've got a burning question for all you...whatever you are. Help me out here.

Who are the bigwigs, and where do I find'em?
